EXHAUST-HEAD FOR STEAM-PIPES.

SECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 668,866, dated February 26, 1901.

Application led June 7, 1900. Serial No. 19,355. (No model.)

T0 @ZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that we, CHARLES A. YOUNG. and GEORGE A. YOUNG, subjects of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at Detroit, county of Vayne, State of Michigan, have vinvented a certain new and useful Improvement in Exhaust-Heads for Steam-Pipes; and we declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description o f the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

Our invention has for its object the construction of an improved exhaust-head for steam-pipes of superior construction and utility; and it consists of the combination and arrangement of devices hereinafter described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is an exterior view in perspective. Fig. 2 is a vertical section thereof. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on the line 3 3, Fig. 2.

Our invention is particularly designed to separate oil and other matters from the steam, to condense the steam, to prevent the discharge of any annoying or injurious spray from the head, our invention making provision not only for separation and condensation in the exhaust-head, but also for carrying away the condensation and matters separated from the steam and preventing its discharge from the top of the exhaust-head.

Our invention aims to provide a large condensing-surface to prevent any noise or back pressure.

Our invention is especially adapted for use in connection with high-speed engines.

We carry out our invention as follows:

As shown in the drawings, the exhausthead is made with an outer jacket, (indicated at 66,) which maybe made of heavy galvanized iron or of any other suitable material. The jacket is provided with an inlet-pipe b, to he connected in any suitable manner with the steam-pipe, suitable connections being shown at c to engage the head with the steam-pipe. Vithin the jacket c is a drum or cylinder d, having at its lower end a series of baflie-plates, (indicated at 6,) openings f being provided between said plates. Vithin the row of baffle-plates e is an additional series of baffleplates g, openings h being provided therebetween. The series of baliie-plates g and the series of balade-plates e are staggered the one relative to the other. The inner baiiie-plates g depend from a delector z' within the drum or cylinder d, said deflector having its apex projecting downward, as shown, the delector being provided near the apex with a dischargepipej, leading therefrom. The drip from the discharge-pipe and from the various series of baffle-plates is caught at the lower end of the jacket, the lower end k of the jacket being coneshaped, converging downward about the connecting-pipe b, and provided with a discharge-opening (indicated at' l.) communieating with a waste-pipe m. The upper end of the jacket is provided with a deflectingcap n, provided with a discharge-openingp at the center thereof, the center of the cap being provided with a discharge-pipe q, projecting downward inside the upper end of the cylinder d, the lower end of the dischargepipe being provided with a gutter, (indicated at fr.) The gutter is provided with one or more discharge-pipes s, which may con verge to discharge upon the deflector i or into proximity with the pipe j. The connecting-pipe b carries the entering steam upward within the inner row of baffle-plates g. It will be evident that partial separation will be made by the inner row of` baflleplates, oil and other substances adhering to the surfaces of said plates. The outer row or series of baflieplates will likewise effect additional separation of matters contained in the exhauststeam, the same passing between the stag gered baule-plates through the openings h and f. The drip from the baffle-plates, as already indicated, is collected in the lower end of the jacket. The steam passes through the outer openingsf between the outer series of ba'flie-plates, passing upward about the surface of the cylinder d, the same being carried down over the upper end of said cylinder and under and into the lower end of the cylinder or pipe q. The steam condensed on the surfaces of the pipe q is caught in the gutter r and carried by the pi pess upon the deflector/L'. So, likewise, the steam condensed on the inner surface of the cylinder' d at its upper end will be carried by said detlector to the discharge-pipe j. In this manner all drip is ICO caught and prevented from being blown out through the pipe q. All the drip from the steam is thus carried to the discharge-pipe Z and to the waste-pipe fm. By making the diameter of the pipe q larger than the diameter of the pipe b it will be obvious that back pressure is entirely avoided and also noise.

After leaving the pipe b it will be obvious that the steam passing between the staggered rows of baffle-plates and thence to the upper pipe q, between the jacket or shell and the inner cylinder d, and downward toward the deiiector t', between the cylinder d and the pipe q, comes into Contact with a large separating and condensing surface, the final separation taking place at the gutter r.

By this construction any annoying and destructive spray is prevented from being discharged from the exhaust-head. The cap n,de fleeting downward, carries all the drip which may be condensed thereupon to the pipe q, and thence to the gutter r, said gutter thus collecting all the drip from the cap n and outlet-pipe q.

What we claim as our invention isl. In an exhaust-head provided with a cap at its upper end, the combination with a jacket, of an inlet-pipe, a waste-pipe, an interioreylinder, an outlet-pipe leading through said cap having its lower end extending into the interior of the cylinder and provided with a gutter, a dedector within said cylinder below the outlet-pipe, discharge-pipes leading from said glitter and from said deiiector, and separating devices'located below said deflector, substantially as described.

2. vIn an exhaust-head, the combination with a jacket provided with a cap at its upper end, of an inlet-pipe, a waste-pipe, an interiorcylinder,an outlet-pipe leading through the upper end of the jacket provided with a gutter at its lower end to receive the condensation from the surface of the cap and from the outlet-pipe, a defiector within said cylinder below the outlet-pipe, discharge-pipes leading from said gutter and said deector, and bathe-plates located below said detlector.

In an eXhausthead, the combination with a jacket provided with au inlet-pipe and with a waste-pipe, of an interior cylinder, an outlet-pipe leading through the upper end of the jacket provided with a gutter at its lower end, a deflector within said cylinder below the outlet-pipe, discharge-pipes leading from said gutter and from said delector, and two rows of battle-plates the one within the other below said delector, the battle-plates ot the two rows staggered the one relative to the other.

4. In an eXhausthead, the combination with a jacket provided with an inlet-pipe and with a waste-pipe, of an interior cylinder, a deflector within said cylinder provided with a dischargepipe, an outletpipe leading through the top ot` said jacket provided with a gutter at its lower end, a discharge-pipe leading from said gutter to discharge through the pipe leading from the deector, and separating devices located below said deflcctor, said jacket provided with a cap at the upper end surrounding the upperend of the outletpipe.

5. In an exhaust-head, the combination of a jacket providedpwith an inlet-pipe at its lower end and with a waste-pipe, of an interior cylinder, a deliector within said cylinder provided with adischarge-pipe, a row of batlie-plates at the lower end of the cylinder, an additional row of baffle-plates within the iirstnarned row, and an outlet-pipe at the upper end of the head provided with a gutter, and with an outlet-pipe leading from the gutter to discharge through the pipe leading from the dedector, the lower end of the jacket being cone-shaped.

6. In an exhaust-head, the combination of a jacket provided with a cap at its upper end, and with a cone-shaped lower extremity having a waste-pipe leading therefrom, an inlet-pipe leading into the lower end of the head, a cylinder within the jacket provided with baffle-plates at its lower end and with openings between said baffle-plates, a deflector within said cylinder, an additional series of bathe-plates beneath the de'lector provided with openings therebetween, an outlet-pipe leading through said cap and projecting downward within the upper end of the cylinder provided with a gutter at its lower extremity, and discharge-pipes leading from the gutter and from the delector to discharge the drip through said waste-pipe, the two rows of battle-plates being staggered.

In testimony whereof we sign this specification in the presence of two witnesses.
